'Starry Eyed' singer Ellie Goulding has revealed that being constantly on the road is a 'strange' experience, but she's so used to it now that she knows how to make it as comfortable as possible.

During an interview with Billboard, she confessed that she ensures that her friends and 'home comforts' are with her on tour as they make her feel better about always being away:

"It's a very strange life, so it's really important that I've got my friends with me and I've got a really good band and I've got some comforts around me. It's weird because my band now are my best friends, I've spent so much time with them."

"Because I've worked solidly for the last four years. Every single tour I've done has been different from the last."

Referring to the current run of dates she is on with American superstar Bruno Mars, Goulding added: "Some tours can be really tough and some, like this, can be really easy, cool and relaxed. I've had tours that are really intense so it's nice to do a tour that's way more chilled and a bit fun."
